The deafening roars of the battle, combined with the fact that Jinhe True Immortal and the plain-robed old monk’s conversation wasn’t broadcast, meant that Zhao Old Man and the other martial cultivators couldn’t hear their exchange.
But they were equally tense and afraid.
They could sense that these barrier beasts were different from those they had seen before.
So, they all hid within a barrier.
This barrier, activated by a treasure, had formidable defensive power.
It was the final sanctuary Jinhe True Immortal had prepared for them before going into battle.
Even so, everyone was terrified. It was the first time they had seen Jinhe True Immortal and the plain-robed old monk struggle so much, even when fighting together.
Especially the younger generation, like Zhao Menglu, who were cowering behind Zhao Old Man and others, trembling in fear.
“Senior Zhao, what’s going on?”
“How did so many monsters suddenly appear?”
Suddenly, a voice rang out.
Looking back, it was Chu Feng.
“Young Hero Chu Feng, quickly hide in our barrier formation!”
Seeing Chu Feng, Zhao Old Man hurriedly opened the barrier and pulled Chu Feng inside.
Seeing Chu Feng return, Zhao Menglu, Xiao Yu, and the others turned pale with fear.
Earlier, they had not only insulted Chu Feng, but Xiao Yu had even attacked him.
At the time, they had lost their rationality in anger.
Now, with their senses restored, they grew more afraid the more they thought about it.
They feared Chu Feng would reveal the truth.
If he did, none of them would escape consequences.
But to their surprise, Chu Feng didn’t mention the incident to Zhao Old Man, acting as if nothing had happened.
Seeing this, the young group gathered, secretly delighted.
Some even secretly messaged Xiao Yu, praising him.
“Brother Xiao, that punch wasn’t in vain. This kid’s so scared he doesn’t dare report us.”
“Right, right, what kind of genius? Just a coward.”
Not only did they praise Xiao Yu, but they also mocked Chu Feng.
Some people are just like that.
Clearly, Chu Feng chose not to pursue the matter, but in their eyes, it became him being timid and afraid.
Hearing these voices, Xiao Yu felt quite smug.
But amidst his smugness, he glanced at his sleeve.
The hand hidden within, still unhealed and worsening, made him deeply worried.
“So it was Senior Plain-Robed who led them here.”
“No matter, I’ll handle it.”
Chu Feng already knew the situation.
As he spoke, he prepared to head out to help Jinhe True Immortal and the plain-robed old monk deal with the barrier beasts.
“Little friend Chu Feng, are you mad?”
“Don’t go out there. You’ll only cause trouble for Lord Jinhe and Lord Plain-Robed.”
But before Chu Feng could leave, Zhao Old Man and others forcibly held him back.
At the same time, others also spoke up to dissuade him.
“Chu Feng, if you want to die, fine, but don’t drag us down with you.”
At this moment, Zhao Menglu, Xiao Yu, and others shouted at Chu Feng, even berating him.
Normally, if Zhao Menglu and the others dared speak to Chu Feng like this, the older generation like Zhao Old Man would have scolded them or even taken action.
But now, with life and death at stake, they said nothing, and Zhao Menglu’s words even echoed their thoughts.
“Roar—”
At that moment, accompanied by terrifying roars, a barrier beast broke through Jinhe True Immortal and the plain-robed old monk’s defense line.
It charged toward them.
Before it even got close, it opened its mouth, shooting a beam of martial power.
With a loud boom, the beam struck the barrier.
Though Jinhe True Immortal’s treasure-powered barrier blocked the beam, cracks spread across it, ready to collapse at any moment.
Everyone could see the barrier couldn’t withstand further attacks from the barrier beast.
“Run, everyone, run!”
Entangled by other barrier beasts, Jinhe True Immortal couldn’t break free to help and could only shout to the crowd.
Hearing his voice, Zhao Old Man and the others turned and fled without hesitation.
But after running a short distance, Zhao Old Man looked back.
He saw Chu Feng hadn’t fled.
Not only that, he was walking toward the barrier beast.
“Little friend Chu Feng, do you not want your life? Come back!!”
Seeing this, Zhao Old Man shouted.
His shout drew everyone’s attention.
All eyes, including those of Jinhe True Immortal and the plain-robed old monk, turned to Chu Feng.
At that moment, the barrier beast reached Chu Feng, raising its massive black foot to crush him alive.
But Chu Feng raised his hand and threw a punch.
With a loud “boom,” the barrier beast was obliterated without even a wail.
Seeing this, everyone was stunned.
They could hardly believe their eyes, even suspecting they had seen wrong.
In their shock, Jinhe True Immortal and the plain-robed old monk fell into danger.
The barrier beasts had surrounded them.
By the time they realized the peril, it was too late to counterattack.
Boom—
Boom—
Boom—
Boom—
But at that moment, continuous explosions rang out. The barrier beasts surrounding the plain-robed old monk and Jinhe True Immortal all burst apart and died.
Not only those surrounding them.
The thousands of barrier beasts charging toward them, densely packed, all exploded.
In the distant sky, explosions continued as the terrifying barrier beasts bloomed like fireworks.
This sudden turn left Jinhe True Immortal and the plain-robed old monk at a loss.
But soon, they noticed a figure.
It was Chu Feng.
Moments ago, he had been behind them, but now he was amidst the thousands of barrier beasts.
And he was heading back toward them.
“Chu Feng, you…”
Seeing Chu Feng, Jinhe True Immortal and the plain-robed old monk were astonished.
They suddenly realized Chu Feng’s cultivation likely surpassed theirs.
Those barrier beasts must have been killed by him.
“Roar—”
But at that moment, more roars came from the distance.
Looking toward the sound, everyone’s faces turned ashen.
In the distant sky, a dark mass approached. Upon closer inspection, it was a swarm of barrier beasts flying toward them.
These beasts, each hundreds of meters long, carried an even more terrifying aura.
The oppressive force made even Jinhe True Immortal and the plain-robed old monk feel despair.
Venerable realm!!!
The countless beasts, blotting out the sky, were all at the Venerable realm.
Forget the sheer number of them.
Even a single one was beyond what the plain-robed old monk and Jinhe True Immortal could handle.
